DESCRIPTION: |
This is
a hypothetical scenario set in July, 1757. The Prussians under Frederick have
been retreating slowly north after their defeat at Kolin. On 16 July a
detached Prussian force under the brave but inexperienced Prince August
William stumbles into an Austrian blocking force under Nadasty at Lobau.
Nadasty is an aggressive commander and his troops have out-marched the
Prussians (as well as his own main army). August William is trapped. The
Prussians have better troops, but must drive across a strongly-held Austrian
ridgeline to reach their main army at Bautzen to the north. Failure means
disgrace and dismissal from the army; Frederick does not have a sympathetic
nature. The rules are 1:50 scale, with very simple game mechanics, suitable
for those new to this fascinating period or to wargaming in general. |

You've
been ordered to seize the recently discovered oil fields on an island in a
disputed coastal region. Your naval forces are standing by, but have you
spent enough to beat the enemy or do you have a back-up plan? The game will
start with each side purchasing some new ships with a limited naval budget
(you may also want to put a little away in your Swiss Bank account, in case
things don't go well) and then move to the action. The rules are simple and
require little to no modern naval experience. |

DESCRIPTION: |
This
scenario is played with tanks at a one to one scale. Yes, that's more than
600 tanks in this scenario, lots of infantry, and it will be done in one
period. The German SS was the tip of one of the spearheads to encircle the
Soviet army. The Soviets had been fortifying for months, and these regiments
had spent seven days destroying seven layers of fortifications and
obliterating the rifle divisions in them. The hard part was over and they had
less than 20 KM to go to encircle one million Soviet troops. The 1st SS
Panzergrenadier regiment started up at 6 a.m. and advanced 2km by 8 a.m.
while destroying a Soviet airborne regiment. They then called up their 67
tank panzer regiment and started to advance thinking that today the circle
will be closed. The Soviets counterattacked them with their last reserves,
500 tanks and unending waves of infantry. Three times the Soviets broke
through and three times they were driven back. At the end of the day 30
German tanks were destroyed and 192 Soviet tanks were destroyed. The Germans
lost less than 400 men. It was a great tactical victory for the SS that day
but a strategic disaster since the German offensive was over. |

players decide upon how many Germans they wish to face. The number is rolled

the Germans keep the suspense going as the Americans attempt to "clear
the board". Game ends when the last German resistance is mopped up.
Beware though; there is a die throw that can increase the number of Germans
so nobody can predict the final opposition. Will it be a "walk in the
park" or a "walk on the wild side"? |

DESCRIPTION: |
This is
a hypothetical scenario set in July, 1757. The Prussians under Frederick have
been retreating slowly north after their defeat at Kolin. On 16 July a
detached Prussian force under the brave but inexperienced Prince August
William stumbles into an Austrian blocking force under Nadasty at Lobau.
Nadasty is an aggressive commander and his troops have out-marched the
Prussians (as well as his own main army). August William is trapped. The
Prussians have better troops, but must drive across a strongly-held Austrian
ridgeline to reach their main army at Bautzen to the north. Failure means
disgrace and dismissal from the army; Frederick does not have a sympathetic
nature. The rules are 1:50 scale, with very simple game mechanics, suitable
for those new to this fascinating period or to wargaming in general. |
